I personally would'nt call Dannecker harps custom.I have MB Deluxes and Danneker Blues.By my statement I mean you would do much better spending your money on Spiers-Michalek-Gaylor-Filisko Guild and probably many others IMHO.
The Dannecker is not on the same level as the stuff done by customizers like the Filisko guild, Joe Spiers, Chris as Bluesharper said because the single most important ingredient that's missing is the reed work thosse guys do. Danneckers may be better tuned for your needs in terms of tuning or gapping, but those guys do FAR beyiond what they do and the biggest differences between customizers is in the reed work, which is THE most important part of the process and so I can't put a Dannecker in their category at all. ---------- Sincerely, Barbeque Bob Maglinte Boston, MA http://www.barbequebob.com CD available at http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/bbmaglinte
